JUNEBUG

102 MINUTES | KENDALL SQUARE + EMBASSY

Strange, provocative, and affecting, Phil Morrison’s film begins with a cavalcade of pig calls, a rendering of General Lee’s dick shooting bullets, and an anonymous fuck. The director’s dysfunctional Southern universe centers on George (Alessandro Nivola), a quiet, reserved type with a boyish grin that hides trouble. George returns home to small-town North Carolina with Madeline (Embeth Davidtz), his wife of six months, wh0 owns an art gallery in Chicago; she’s making the trip not to meet his parents but because she's interested in a local who specializes in Civil War art. After a warm reception, nothing clicks. George's pregnant sister-in-law, Ashley (Amy Adams), is obsessed with Madeline's worldliness, and his brother, Johnny (Benjamin McKenzie from The OC), is a jealous hack, unfulfilled and ready to explode. Revelations fly, and the actors carry the proceedings with gusto, especially Adams and Celia Weston and Scott Wilson as George’s parents.
